Interesteg What makes it different from others?
StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.
LouHomey From my favorite movies..
Blake Rivera If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.
malcolmgsw I think that there should be a desperate category for films produced by E J Fancey.They are well below the level of B pictures of the period.The question is how did he get away with it so long.Didn't the exhibitors realise that they were getting yesterday's leftovers.The screenplay such as it is is totally ridiculous.The story is about trying to put on a concert to raise money to save a restaurant closing.Judging by the goings on in the restaurant the customers would be better off if it closed.There are a lot of comedy routines thrown in for no better reason than to pad up the film,in between the musical numbers,also used to pad out the film.
Leofwine_draca SOHO CONSPIRACY sounds on paper like one of those interesting little British crime thrillers of the 1950s but the reality is very different. In fact, it's one of many cheapies put out by E.J. Fancey, a film which liberally includes stock footage from MAD ABOUT THE OPERA, a 1948 movie. All of the musical scenes are borrowed from that movie, and they're the most entertaining part of this.The rest is something of a mixed bag. There's a great deal of slapstick comedy both at the outset and most notably at the climax, along with a muddled plot involving attempts to put on a charity concert being thwarted by a ruthless property developer. The cast are nothing to write home about, and the story is frankly below par, barely holding the viewer's interest throughout.
